Q: Are Tape-In Hair Extensions Bad For Your Hair?

The sticky tape of tape hair extensions is made with medical-grade material that is 100% safe for your hair and scalp. Tape-ins never harm natural hair but improper installation and maintenance can lead to this issue.

Q: Do Tape-Ins Damage Hair?

A: Actually, if improperly installed and maintained, all types of hair extensions can damage your hair. You should let a professional handle the tape-in process and make sure to return regularly to the salon for maintenance.  

Q: Are Tape Hair Extensions Suitable For Everyone?

A: If your natural hair is oily, if you often sweat a lot, or if your hair is extremely short, you may not be a suitable candidate for tape hair extensions. 

Q: How Many Packs Of Tape Hair Extensions Do You Need?

A: We recommend you purchase 2 packs (80 pieces, about 200 grams) to achieve a full natural & glam hair look.

A: If your tape hair extensions are made of 100% Remy hair, they can last for more than one year with proper care. If you are wondering how long you can keep tape-in extensions on your head, it is recommended that you do not leave the extensions on your head for longer than two months. 

Q: Can You Work Out With Tape-In Extensions?

A: Sure. We suggest you keep your hair in a braid to minimize getting tangled when you are working out. Wearing a sports headband should also be a wise decision.

Q: Can You Shower With Tape-In Extensions?

A: Aside from the first 48 hours after installation, you can take a shower with your extensions as you desire. If it’s necessary to take a shower during these 48 hours, wear a shower cap to protect your extensions from slide-off. What’s more, you should reduce the frequency of washing hair after hair extension. Maximize 2-3 times per week, or you can use dry shampoo as an alternative.

Or you can also choose to buy colored hair extensions from the hair vendor directly.

Q: Do Tape In Hair Extensions Fall Out Easily?

Q: How To Ponytail With Tape In Extensions?

A: Tape-ins allow you to slay high-ponytail or top bun styles with proper installation. The secret to ensuring the tapes are completely undetectable is to leave out the hair around your hairline and edges. So if the high ponytail is your next hairstyle, let your hairdresser know in advance!

Q: How To Remove Tape In Hair Extensions?

A: Separate the bonds of the tape hair and use a suitable brush to detangle your hair extensions. Your leave-out hair should be parted up to expose the tape. Apply some glue remover to the tape and sit for a while to loosen the sticky tape. If you feel the tape loosening, gently peel it away. If you feel it is still sticky, apply more remover and let it sit for a while. Try to peel it away when it gets loosened. Repeat to do so, until you have removed all the tape-in extensions on your head.
